Note: What possessed me to make this little random thing into a fanfic? I have no clue. I just did. Don't like it? Tough, That makes two of us.

Lily and Ray were talking in the alley near Mickey's the night that Lily was supposed to perform her new single.

"Ray, I don't think I can do this."

"Don't say that Lily. You can do anything you set your mind to."

"I am not good in front of crowds. I can't face any more messing up."

"Then go up in that stage and do your best. You won't mess up."

"You can't promise that I won't."

"No, but even if you fail, I can still promise this..."

Ray leans in and kisses Lily without giving her time to reject it. She pulls back quickly.

"What the hell Ray!?"

"Well I a..."

Slaps Ray

"You can't just go around kissing your best friend like that!"

"Why not? Isn't that what people do when they are in love?"

"Love? Gee Ray what has gotten into you? We're 14. How can you tell the difference between true love and friend love?"

Lily quickly goes into Mickey's and forgets about being afraid as she is introduced onto the stage. She is too worked up to care about the audience in front of her and starts singing whatever comes to mind, forgetting about her single.

Why kiss me?

Why hurt me?

Why change anything at all.

Why love me?

Why hold me?

Why do you insist this at all?

If you want to go there

Then you better think clear

If you want to be free

Then you won't want to get

closer to me.

Why love me?

When you know you'll hurt me.

Why kiss me?

When you know it will change everything?

If you know what's right then forget those

feelings now and prevent a regretful sacrifice.

A few people in the audience clapped as Lily walked off the stage and exited Mickey's. She didn't know what possessed her to sing those words at the last minute but she didn't care. They wanted her single. They got an original. Something she would never sing again or write down for that matter. Just a spur of the moment splash of words.

'What am I ever going to do about Ray?' Was Lily's last thought as she fell asleep in her bed 10 minutes later.

Note: Interesting little bit I typed quickly. Really not all that great. Maybe if I have time I can make it into something worth reading eh? That is if I ever get back to my actually good fanfics.
